David Lynch Tribute Screenings
As love continues to pour in for the inimitable David Lynch (see the roses, cigarettes and personal messages at Burbank’s Bob’s Big Boy for further proof), some of the city’s movie theaters are paying tribute, filling their schedules with screenings of the director’s films this week. American Cinematheque is leading the way with Blue Velvet (January 28–30) and Wild at Heart (January 29, 31) at the Los Feliz 3 and Inland Empire at the Aero January 31. At the Egyptian Theatre, catch a matinee of Wild at Heart on Saturday, followed by Mulholland Drive and a double bill of Lynch’s short films and Eraserhead on Sunday. Vidiots is also showing Eraserhead on January 30, and on the same night, the Philosophical Research Society in Los Feliz is screening Twin Peaks: The Return, Episode 8, which blew fans’ collective minds when it first aired. And last but not least, those in the South Bay can catch a triple feature of Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway and Eraserhead at Gardena Cinema on Saturday—that’s seven straight hours of Lynch.
